Zhang Han's soldiers went to the periphery of Dong'e, only felt that it was very quiet here, so he ordered the soldiers to move forward slowly, after all, the Yellow River was not far ahead, and Tian Rong would be sad to cross the river if he had no money.

Xiang Liang and others have already ambushed the archers on the mound, only waiting for Zhang Han's soldiers to be more than half of Dong'e, they can take it in one fell swoop, Zhang Han is in the Chinese army, and suddenly thought that this terrain is the place where the soldiers will win.

Immediately turned the horse's head and ordered the soldiers to retreat, Xiang Liang saw this, immediately waved the flag and commanded, thousands of archers stood up from the mound, arrows rained down, and shot at the Zhang Han army in the middle.

Zhang Han, who wanted to retreat, was shocked when he saw an ambush next to him, and the 20,000 soldiers and horses were a little at a loss for a while, and when the arrows were shot, Xiang Liang personally led his troops to attack Zhang Han.

The two soldiers and horses met in an instant, Zhang Han ordered to retreat while fighting, Xiang Liang's army was a rebel army, although there were no good weapons, but there were many people, and the sneak attack made the morale slightly longer.

Zhang Han's 20,000 soldiers lost 10,000 in Dong'e, so they had to retreat to the west, and Xiang Liang naturally did not dare to chase more, in case there were troops behind him, which made Zhang Han escape.

However, before Zhang Han fled to Puyang, he was stopped by Liu Bang and Xiang Ji's army, and it was another battle, and Zhang Han's army lost more than 5,000 people, and the two defeats made Zhang Han very depressed.

He led the remaining soldiers to Puyang to hold on, plus the soldiers of the four routes, with more than 100,000 soldiers, while Liu Bang and Xiang Ji were ambushed in the east of Puyang and opposed Zhang Han's army.

At that time, the number of all the armies should be clearly calculated, Xiang Liang had about 100,000 soldiers and horses, while Liu Bang and Xiang Ji each brought 20,000 soldiers and horses, Zhang Han had 1560,000, and the rest of the rebel army in Wuzhong was about 200,000 or 300,000.

In Puyang City, Zhang Han summoned Shejian, Su Jiao, Dong Peng, and Sima Xin to inquire about the matter, and the atmosphere in the hall was very embarrassing, and they didn't dare to say countermeasures first.

"General, that Liang has left Dong'e, and according to the report from the spies, he is heading for Dingtao." Shima said in a low voice, and at the same time looked at Zhang Han's face.

Zhang Han just waved his hand slightly, "The most important thing at present is not the rebel army, but that our army is not fast enough to attack Dingtao, and we need to send a rescue to Xianyang first, and send troops to us to be foolproof." ”

After hearing this, the generals bowed slightly, "What the general said is extremely true, then he will ask for reinforcements first, and when the time comes, bypass Liu Bang and Xiang Ji, and directly attack Xiang Liang, if Xiang Liang is destroyed, then Chu Di will not be worried." Su Jiao said quite calmly.

At this time, Liu Bang and Xiang Ji were all stationed in the east of Puyang, and they did not dare to act rashly, and Xiang Liang also repeatedly instructed that they must wait for the opportunity, and when Zhang Han's army is slack, they will send troops to attack, or when Wang Li is unfavorable to attack Zhao State, they must defend it now.

Liu Bang got the order and naturally obeyed, but these days he didn't agree with Xiang Ji, and suddenly remembered Lu Yan's letter some time ago, and asked him to invite Gaoyang drunkards.

With a plan in his heart, he went to Gaoyang Township with Xiao Hefan and others, hoping to meet Lu Yan's so-called drunkard, and at this time, Li Shiqi was at home, observing the general trend of the world.

It is said that Li Shiqi was also a little famous at that time, not because he was knowledgeable, but because he liked to drink, and as a small official, the county commander did not dare to provoke him, and called himself the heir of Guigu.

Liu Bang and others came to Gaoyang Township in a few days, and learned about Li Shiqi's residence after a little inquiry, Liu Bang and Xiao He went to visit, but Li Shiqi had a spectrum, and heard that there was a general visiting, but he didn't come out of the house.

asked the doorman, the doorman didn't answer, Liu Bang was very upset in his heart, Xiao He was beside him, and he also persuaded Liu Bang not to be angry, "The general can wait a while, Pingnanhou's vision will not be wrong, Zhang Han was just a small official in a pit room at the beginning, and today he was promoted by Pingnanhou, and Dong Peng and Sima Xin's generation are also." ”

"But this drunkard in front of him is also quite rude! We came from afar, and we are generals, he is just a small official in the county, so arrogant, but also a Confucian! Liu Bang sat aside and said a little uncalmly.

"This Pingnanhou is also quite interesting, who are the people he interacts with." Fan Xu said a little jokingly.

Xiao He glanced at Fan Hao with some disdain, "Don't you know Nanhou Ping, he can make so many friends, it's not because he is knowledgeable, otherwise who will be friends with him." ”

Fan Hao was a little embarrassed by what he said, just scratching his head, and at this moment, Li Shiqi didn't let the doorman report, and walked out of the house directly, looking at Liu Bang and the others with some concern.

"Who are you? Even next to my door, I didn't want to do something like a chicken and a dog thief. Li Shiqi said very unkindly.

Liu Bang was about to get angry, and was hurriedly blocked by Xiao He, "We are the Wuzhong Rebel Army, the contemptible Xiao He, this is the general Liu Bang, and the one next to him is the deputy general Fan Xu." ”

"In Xia Li, what are you doing here?" There is a lot of disdain in the words.

Fan Xu next to him just gasped for breath when he heard this, and wanted to go up and beat him, but he was afraid of losing the general's face, "We want to ask Mr. Mu to go back to Wuzhong and help us destroy Bao Qin." Liu Bang said very kindly.

Li Shiqi stroked his beard slightly, and his face was slightly puzzled, "You are in Wuzhong, how can you know about Gao Yang, isn't there anyone to guide you?" ”

Seeing this, Xiao He immediately signaled Liu Bang to take out Pingnanhou's letter and hand it to Li Shiqi, "I was instructed by Pingnanhou here, and I just came here, and I have a letter for the time being, and I ask Mr. to look at it." ”

Li Shiqi took the letter suspiciously, and sure enough, it was Ping Nanhou's handwriting, but Li Shiqi nodded slightly after reading the first half, and the second half was at a loss.

"This is indeed Pingnanhou's handwriting, the first half is to let Zhang Liang and the old man assist the general, and the second half of Pingnanhou brings his own young general, we really don't know what it means." Li Shiqi said slowly.

"Who is that Zhang Liang? Have we never heard of it? Liu Bang was the first to ask.

"Zhang Liang, Zhang Zifang, the new prime minister of South Korea, is trying to revive South Korea, and he is still in Xinzheng, but now is not the time to invite him to come, he must break Zhang Han." Li Shiqi said indifferently.

Xiao He was shocked when he heard this, "Pingnanhou is just Xianyang's humerus, why he met so many capable people, it is really incomprehensible." ”

Li Shiqi just laughed beside him, "You naturally don't know, that Pingnanhou has been in the Legalist sect since he was a child, and then came to my Guigu faction, and has the ability to reach the sky." ”

Lu Yan was so advocated by Li Shiqi, and Liu Bang and the others were even more dazed, "Dare to ask Mr. if you can invite Pingnanhou from Linzi, we will thank you very much." Liu Bang said excitedly.

"It's not the time for Pingnanhou to go out of the mountain, I can follow the general, and Xiang Liang is still there, Pingnanhou came to Wuzhong, is the general more respectful than Xiang Liang."

Li Shiqi had something to say, and Liu Bang was dumbfounded.
